I don't think you can compare a coilover to underwear, maybe a shirt?

 

Yeah well you can tell us how much you like your Megans after the shocks blow out on you after 10,000 miles...

 

May be getting a new car, HKS Hipermax RS will be up for grabs...

 

My fronts are off...will be taking the rears off today cleaning everything up and posting a FS thread.

 

Oh, and PM Dan (RXPLODE) about your swift springs. He's looking for springs and might just pick up yours.

 

Sweet, I'll def be interested in that, let me know

I already have a buyer on the springs, just waiting to get some coilovers so he can pick it up, but in case it doesn't go through I'll contact him. thanks.

morning bunmmmmpppp

 

This Happened to me as well. Driving downtown went over a streetcar track and the same piece broke. Mazdaspeed wont do a thing about it!!

 

would you run apexi?

 

 

I didn't even know they made a coil over for the 8. What do you have?

 

they do have coilovers for the rx8

megan = apexi as far as coilovers go. Made in the same factory, different colors and different stickers.

I can get you anything

 

Which Apexi, I found this link, please confirm...

They won't blow that fast, all coilovers go bad eventually at some time, if you did on yours then I guess it depends on the driving skills and especially where you live could be the problem, The Megans aren't Rally Coilovers, so if you live in the Rocky Mountains buy a F150 or a Hummer.

As a matter of fact these coilovers aren't the greatest thing nor the high tech performance but I must admit they do better than stock and smooth riding, cornering, bumpy roads etc. you gotta remember that anyone will love to buy a Complete Turbo for an RX8 for $1000, the truth is it doesn't exist. So I know there are plenty of us owners that really want to make a diference in our cars and end up buying the basic upgrades, so the fact of making fun of other peoples mods because they can't aford it, that's simply being sarcastic.

The truth is I love my car but also I love my responsabilities such as my family and other important things, anything I decide to buy for my car must come third. Cars come and go, family and a house is what matters first. When you grow up I guess you'll understand what I'm talking about.

I bought the Megans Brand NEW better than the Mazda Dealer offered me the stock ones and haven't regret a single bit since I installed them, if you ask me, Yes I would of invested in something bigger Tein Flex, Hyper X, Mazdaspeed, but the fact of the emergency me needing a good set of coilovers with my budget, I was running out of time and needed my car so I ended up with these Megans and they are'nt that bad as I thought they would be.

I myself am looking to upgrade my coilovers but for now I'll stick with the Megans, I have other important investments to do with my car than to keep investing in the same thing over and over again.

Rgds,

^Yeah I agree with you, the Megans are good for the price if your using them mainly for street driving. I've read a review about them blowing after 10K miles, but that was from someone who tracked his car. Origionally I was planning on getting the Megans, untill I got into AutoX and HPDE events, which is why i'm going with something different.

 

basics are good, probably the best deal under 1k new

 

bummmp

if you've changed your mind on the megans, I have a brand new set for $825 + shipping

gotta get hellaflush

 

gotta be hellaflush, but not interested in megans lol.

 

@ the word "hella"

 

i'd go with the tein flex. basic dont bother very sh*ty ride. but the flex i think will be perfect.
